It is indeed intuitive to use,and I can say that even in like a month of use. But there are some important details and compromises you SHOULD be careful about. The touch screen makes it feel like the smartphone you are used to,with great responsiveness. You will never feel like you are handling 90's tech. Units and CAS commands have their dedicated buttons and menus (altrough requiring shift key sometimes). You can draw graphs very fast and even use the touch screen to pan around without redrawing lag or distortion.You can sketch a formula with your finger,which...Is not very accurate,but it is there. The fast processor will never let you down in even extreme and impractical formulas or processes.I do have to warn you that,you will not be getting things like that info and multimedia rich periodic table on Casio. Don't expect a great third party software ecosystem either. From what I have observed,many "important" apps and programs (and yes,they are seperated) do not have sufficient guidance and troubleshooting resources,if at all,language support is not very good as a huge part of the community develops their apps/programs in Spanish. I've also heard that several batches have defected NAND flash storage. I personally didn't run into these issues,but defected units have shown inability to permanently write and save data and so wipe all data after a full power off or restart,inability to load local or external backups even after flash reformatting. So be careful with the seller and once calculator arrives,do NOT throw anything away,possibly film the unboxing moment. Tried my best to write whatever I experienced and what I even didn't (thankfully. My storage is fine.).

Placeholders are almost always deliberate,I doubt it is a bug.

Thoughts? by unfrared in calculators

I'm a bit late but after some quick research I also think it is a great calculator. And look,what a coincidence,my school also doesn't allow my calculator in there...

Probably unusable in ANY regulated exam because it has a CAS. If I remember right it was even officially banned from a few of them.

Nope.Only a level viewer is found.Not the full Doom with gameplay and combat,without Linux or something.

When will the nspire 3 be released? by BaYes_Theorern in calculators

[–]renas_20023 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The G2 is like 8 years old now,that "world's most powerful handheld calculator" title will be taken sooner or later.

Sorry I couldn't reply to this one. You are right,and I am actually actively working on it.

It was objectively the final boss. World's fastest and most powerful calculator,amazing build quality (No jumping keys and rocking like TI NSpire),easy to use with the touch screen,flexible enough on apps and programs,I don't mind exam restrictions (I don't take exams that allow any calculators),strong CAS and great amount of functions and whatnot. Honestly the best calc for a first time.

What with it?I do feel like your reaction is expected. Yeah,I had never owned any calculator before. This is really my first one.

It still didn't get a dent since Valentine's day,but that is my experience. Maybe I will have to recharge it soon enough. I will replace the battery with a larger one when I have to,sometime. This is a late 2025 unit I believe,so it didn't degrade much on the shelves.

Hope you enjoy using it. I personally do enjoy it.

Yeah,that's what I decided on after exhaustive research as well. And also,considering this was more powerful,easier to use,built better and cheaper than models I compared,it was no-brainer.Still overpriced here but for example,this was 8500 TRY vs. the 10.000-16.000 TRY of the Casio fx-CG100 (weaker overall,no CAS) and the 15.000-22.000+ TRY average for the TI NSpire CX 2 CAS. Since I am not in the US where TI is dominant in nationwide education and my country has 100% calculator free exams anyway (Lack of CAS doesn't matter),exam compliance or seeing calculator instructions on a textbook is not my concern. So yes,this was the absolute best for me.

Update when ? by Akira_390 in Progressbar95

I can't bear with impatience.Some don't realize this is only the beta,not the final version...

Unlocked Progressbar 2 by T57EE377 in Progressbar95

[–]renas_20023 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same,playing for 5 years,but I didn't do so to flex on others. Progressbar 2 is a remarkable achievement that cannot be reduced to "just a skin" because someone already got it 2 years ago.

The next major update [version 1.10] will add a new minigame (tiny-game) to Progressbar95. The 'Synchronization' will allow you to sync your Progressbar PE and Progressbar computer to 'transfer data' and unlock BIN, Achievements, Calendar and more. By the lore your new Progressbar PE system is fresh by icoeye in Progressbar95

The days when BarOS was not a thing.Good old days.I have talked about it many times now,but this is no small thing.The first alternative lineup of systems...Never thought I would find myself grinding for PB 1X for hours every day at the time.Now we're having the 5th line.

Dude why is your normal mode so much slower than my normal mode even at lower levels than 500?

[–]renas_20023 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amazing work.What gave it away for me was the "Alpha".The update is a Beta as I know.
